Travel stretcher for transporting a patient, in particular for use at large events

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a travel stretcher specifically designed for transporting patients, particularly during large events. The innovative feature is a privacy screen that can be vertically adjusted on the stretcher's frame, allowing quick and efficient changes between patient privacy during transport and unobstructed access during treatment. The design also focuses on comfort, maneuverability, secure storage for medical equipment, shake-reducing transport, and compatibility with standard stretchers.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Medical emergencies at large public events (concerts, festivals, sports games)
• Temporary medical facilities or triage centers
• Disaster response situations requiring patient transport through crowds
• Hospitals or clinics for intra-facility transport with enhanced privacy
• Military field hospitals or emergency rescue operations with diverse environmental needs

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Quick and efficient vertical adjustment of the privacy screen, improving both patient privacy and caregiver access
• Enhanced patient comfort during transport and treatment
• Reduced risk of patient injury from the privacy screen itself
• Highly maneuverable and can be operated by a single person, even in tight spaces
• Easy integration with standard stretchers used by emergency services
• Safe, secure storage for medical and personal equipment protected from patient fluids
• Shake-reducing features (soft rubber tyres, damping elements) minimize discomfort and risk for injured patients
• Rapid setup and teardown improves response times during emergencies
• Minimizes spatial footprint by allowing the privacy screen to compactly retract into the frame

Patent Abstract

The present invention relates to a travel stretcher for transporting a patient, in particular for use at large events, comprising a travel frame, provided with wheels, and comprising a privacy screen for the patient. So as to develop the travel stretcher in such a way that the adjustment work for the privacy screen, which is required for transport and obstructive during treatment, can be made more efficient, and the patient can be transported and treated with greater comfort and at lesser expense, the invention provides that the privacy screen (5) is vertically displaceable on the undercarriage (2).
